I am not afraid to try cases and know how to win at jury trials. I have been practicing law over 43 years since 1977. We do extensive discovery and trial preparation in our cases using many proprietary research techniques. We have done many product liability cases where that was the only way to recover money for the client in motorcycle, toxic tort, creosote and benzene cases. I have the unique ability to handle motorcycle accident and crash cases. I have raced motorcycles at the local, state, national and even in the World Veterans FIM Motorcross Championships in Europe in 1977. I also am VP of the local GNO ABATE Chapter and fight for motorcyclists in the legislature and with La. ABATE as a representative..

You get constant personal attention from our team with instant answers to your questions and regular updates on your case. We are always accessible to our clients and consider them friends.. I work with Peyton Bowman and Callan Johns, two young attorneys who share my passion for justice, riding motorcycles and making the world a better place. Our motto is, "Making the Community Safer through the Jury System" and we have done that in police cars that exploded due to defective gas tanks, handcuffing techniques, TASER litigation, and had officers who used improper procedures to be disciplined. It is not just about money. It is about making the community safer. We believe we had a duty to do just that.The Law Office of Glenn C. McGovern2901 Division Street Suite 201, Metairie, LA 70002
